Baseball player Torii Hunter has a net worth of $40 million, accumulated through his career with the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Angels. In addition to his net worth, he's made a career out of doing what he loves: Playing the sport of baseball. His career began in 1993, when he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins right out of high school. However, it wasn't until the year 1999 that Hunter began as a regular starter. A year later, in 2000, Hunter broke out in a big way but he was sent back to triple-A after his batting average decreased to the point where he needed to work on his mechanics at bat. After this period, his star continued to rise, eventually becoming a true baseball star. In 2007, he signed with the Los Angeles Angels after turning down a $45 million deal with the Twins - which is as good an indicator as any of his increased success in the game of baseball. Away from the game, Hunter contributes to a variety of charitable causes, including education and an initiative to maintain baseball diamonds in lower income neighborhoods. He continues to have many different kinds of success on and off the field.
Victorii 'Torii' Kedar Hunter ( /'t?ri:/; born July 18, 1975) is a Major League Baseball right fielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Hunter has taken away many home runs throughout his 13-year major league career by "climbing the fence" in the outfield. He has won nine consecutive Gold Glove Awards as an outfielder.
Hunter was selected as the Twins' first-round pick in 1993 out of high school, and made his first appearance with the Twins as a pinch runner in Baltimore on August 22, 1997. It was not until 1999 that Hunter began starting regularly, playing in 135 games for the Twins. He finished with only one error in 292 chances in the outfield.
Hunter exploded onto the scene in the beginning of April in 2000, but his batting average dropped to .207 by the end of May. He was subsequently sent down to Triple-A to work on his mechanics at the plate; however with Hunter's new approach at the plate, he caught fire in the month of June, capping it with a two-home run, seven-RBI game and being named the Twins' Minor League Player of the Week and Player of the Month. After a 16-game hitting streak, four consecutive games with home runs and three grand slams, Hunter was recalled by the Twins on July 28. Hunter was named both Best Defensive Outfielder and Most Exciting Player in Pacific Coast League by Baseball America for 2000.
In 2001, Hunter led the Twins in at bats, home runs and outfield assists (with 14 - tied for second best in the league), and was second in RBI and total bases, leading the Twins to their first winning season since 1992. Hunter led all major league center fielders in range factor (3.29), and was named Best Defensive Outfielder in the American League by Baseball America. He also won his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award in 2001.
In 2002, Hunter began to post near-MVP numbers, and was a contender for the award a good portion of the year. In the month of April, he went 39-105 (a .371 average) with nine home runs and 20 RBI, winning A
